Do you like buttermilk?

Question

Buttermilk is a staple in our fridge, it's an essential ingredient in Welsh pancakes, lots of baking recipes or just mixed with oatmeal and eaten. You can make your own but it's cheap to buy.

I only buy it when I know I'm going to make something with it, such as traditional fried chicken. I don't use it nearly often enough to stock it regularly. Maybe 4 or 5 times a year.

I make more "streamlined" meals most of the time - stuff that uses more common ingredients and/or that isn't such a big production to make. It would be different if homemaking was my full-time job, but it's anything but. Plus, I am usually only cooking for myself and sometimes my girlfriend (though I make extra for leftovers), so there's less of a reason to make a big production. That's more for holidays or parties where I have more people coming over.

I'm pretty sure you would enjoy everything I can cook - maybe 30 dinner meals and some simple baking - but you would probably complain that my food pallette was too small, because I can tell that you eat a much wider range of food. I'm picky and I know it. I wish I was one of those people who eat anything, but I am the opposite.

It's a flavor that calls out to you, beckoning you to take that first, life-changing sip. Indeed, if I were to rank odors, buttermilk would certainly be within the top 5, right above wet dog and below decaying vegetation. It's an intoxicating blend of delightful odors that I find utterly captivating, and I cannot help but savor each and every drop.

I use naturally fermented buttermilk without addition of ascorbic acid is good for marinating of meat and perfect for sweet sour fruit shakes.
Pork loin marinated in buttermilk with few onion slices taste better and is much more tender. However this works only with natural buttermilk that contains lactic acid

I only buy it if what I’m cooking requires it and since I don’t cook, I cannot remember the last time I needed it. Maybe 3 years ago.

Unfortunately it seems unheard of in Japan. I've asked so many Japanese if they know where to get buttermilk only to discover they don't even know what it is. There's not even a Japanese word for buttermilk (not even katakana).

So I've had to make substitutes like milk and acid or yogurt and milk. It's never quite the same as the buttermilk I could get in the US.

I went to a pancake breakfast once. They were buttermilk pancakes. They had a container of buttermilk on the table so I poured a big glass to have with my pancakes. The stuff was really bad.

I avoid it tbh. There is a battle going on at the moment, I have friends trying to get me on almond milk with walnut milk around the corner.
